Tahiti1.Com - The Polynesian Web Directory

The first homeland for the settling of the "Polynesian Triangle", dating back to the start of the modern era, this "Land of Men" "Henua Enata" clustered near the equator includes around ten islands with jagged mountain peaks, about 1,500 kilometers from Tahiti. As there are no barrier reefs the Marquesan coastlines are either indented with bays or end in abrupt cliffs and are swept by the surf and consist of stunning natural scenery. Nature runs wild in these islands where herds of goats and packs of wild horses roam in total freedom.

Fruits of the earth and of the sea abound here also in this in comparable domain. The six main islands are divided into two distinct groups: the northern group with the big island of Nuku Hiva, Ua Pou and its sugarloaf mountains, Ua Huka the island of horses; the southern group with Hiva Oa, the island of "tiki" statues, Tahuata and Fatu Hiva, the islands discovered by the Spaniard Mendana. The lilting Marquesan language, its songs and rhythmic "haka" dances, the traditional cultural and decorative art of tattooing, carving, "tapa" cloth, the fine art of cooking and the return of sandal wood are equally a source of pride and identity for these people descended from valiant navigators and great warriors.
